Black Cat Vol. 1: No Good Deed

Writer G. Willow Wilson (MS. MARVEL) unleashes the hero hidden deep inside the Black Cat!

Felicia Hardy is the world’s slyest and most skilled super-thief! She loves a good score. The longer the odds, the better! But her entire world has been turned upside down, so now Felicia is turning over a new leaf as New York City’s newest…super hero?! The first villains on her agenda include the Lizard, Sandman and Tombstone — but the list’s getting longer by the day, and it’s only a matter of time before those nine lives of hers run out. But why would fighting crimes rather than committing them land Felicia in jail and turn friends, enemies and even public opinion against her? Plus: Here comes Daredevil! Mary Jane Watson, A.K.A. Venom helps pull an interdimensional heist! And Felicia ends up in the sights of the Punisher!
